HURON, Ohio — It didn’t take long for officers with the Huron Police Department to find a suspect as they responded to a bank for a break-in.

The suspect, identified as Tristan Heidl, 27, told officers he broke into a credit union because he was broke, WJW reports. Body-worn camera video shows the suspect falling from the roof and landing in a recycling bin. Police said he used the recycling bin to prop himself up to climb into the ceiling of the bank.

Officers immediately go toward the recycling bin and arrest the suspect.

“He was cooperative once he was apprehended,” Huron Police Chief Terry Graham told WJW. “He answered the officers’ questions truthfully and he just said he was broke.”
